AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Smoreni Zmaj "As I was going up the stair I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish, I wish he'd go away"In my head, I shuffled through three or four different theories before I finally figured out what was going on. It's meant to be a surprise in the final scene, but unfortunately, I figured it out about half an hour earlier. It is not so predictable though, I think I just had a lucky guess. But even if you spoil it for yourself like I did, you won't be disappointed with this really good mystery thriller.8/10
phoebem-49868 Thought this film was cheesy and unrealistic...but the twists were brilliant and put it up there with one of the best psychological thrillers I've seen. Particularly the ending when I thought I had it all sussed and was comfortable with my own assessment of the film. Only marks down for some slightly unbelievable screaming during the couple scene.
abraham-mtnez I really don't know how can anyone enjoy this movie. I always finish movies, and so I did with this one. But hell I had to force myself hard not to switch it off.Don't want to waste more time on it either. Just felt that I should warn others and save them some precious time to do something else.Be well.
zkonedog AT face value, the conceit of this film seems like the set-up for every suspense picture ever made: A dark and stormy night, a collection of characters who congregate at a gloomy motel, and one by one they start dying off. While the film performs well inside of that characterization, it forgoes the traditional "reveal of the killer" in the end in favor of a much more mind-bending conclusion.To not spoil things for the masses, the amazing twist near the end is roughly akin to what the TV show LOST has done over the span of six years. When LOST first started, creator JJ Abrams tricked us into thinking it was a show about a group of plane crash-ees trying to survive on an island. Six years later, the show is dealing with time-travel and the entire fate of civilization. Though "Identity" doesn't quite go THAT far, it follows a similar tract by not even closely resembling (at the end) the movie you thought you were watching in the beginning.What keeps this movie from just being a curiosity, though, is that even after the jaw-dropping reveal, it still manages to wrap up the pseudo-plot line quite nicely. Basically, you can still be satisfied with the film even if the shocking ending doesn't do it for you.Thus, if you are a fan of mystery/suspense thrillers and revel in big twists at the end, you will watch almost the entire final credits in a state of shock. Plus, even if you don't like huge plot surprises, the "fake' storyline will still keep you on the edge of your seat.
